Fantastic price on the premium Infiniti Q60 coupe. Normal price is $62,900 + on-road costs (ORC). Deal is available until June 30.

The Infiniti Q60 is a premium semi-luxury 2-door coupe introduced in 2016. It competes directly with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 4-series, Lexus RC, and Audi A5.

To compare this deal to it's rivals, see table below:

Infiniti Q60 $49,888 Power/torque: 155/350

Lexus RC300 $65,400+ORC 180/350
Merc C200 $66,400+ORC 135/300
Audi A5 $69,900+ORC 140/320
BMW 420i $70,900+ORC 135/270

Warranty:

Infiniti: 4 years/100,000km
Lexus: 4 years/100,000km
BMW: 3 years/unlimited
Mercedes: 3 years/unlimited
Audi: 3 years/unlimited

According to Redbook, a 2-year-old Infiniti Q60 GT is worth up to $46,400, meaning that if you took up this deal, your car might only lose $3,500 in value in the next 2 years. By comparison, a BMW 420i will have lost $20,000 in value in that same time period.

      Any more info on this? I'm not in the market but I do dream of 2 door BMWs.

  • boostpak on 25/05/2018 - 09:48

    At the end of the day, people with say 40-60k range to spend on a car of their choice, are they really going to pick Infinity over a BMW, Merc or Audi…
    I highly doubt it.
    People these days want to be seen in something with a brand behind it that is recognized on the road and in social aspects. That's just how society has become.

    With so many more brands these days we are actually spoilt for choice from cars to smartphones to everything in-between.

    Having sold cars in the past (different brands) I can tell you that it's a hell of a lot easier to sell a car at the price you want, with a brand people want compared to a brand that isn't selling much quantity in the first place. You may end up selling it, but don't be fooled by the asking price, sellings would sell a lot cheaper than their advertised prices. Think about it, if you were going to by a used infinity, would you pay their asking price?

    I think Infinity should try to angle their brand a bit more like something in-between MG and the luxury car brands, instead of trying to be up there with the luxury brands. Still have the same quality, but bring the prices down to a more competitive market and they may survive.

    To be premium brand it actually needs to feel premium … had a look at one last year (when I was shopping)

    didnt even bother test driving it. mid $40th seems to be fair price bracket for this car and it should be compared to Toyota and Subaru not BWM and Merc

      Agree it's nice enough to look at and for some that is enough. That Lexus RC300, on the other hand looks as though they took the 86GT, scaled it up 20% then added some tinsel.

      $50K gets you an interior that craps all over the Help-I'm-sat-in-a-wheely-bin Mustang. Anyone who lives in a capital city with the traffic and heavily monitored speeds that come with it, and want to argue over less than a second here or there are pulling themselves.
      But who cares? Most are dopey substance-abusers whose reaction times are shot to hell anyway.

  • zealmax on 25/05/2018 - 16:09

    Don't know much about cars, but the current Infinity line up are ugly and look more like a Nissan than a Luxury brand. I guess it is all subjective. Rather 370Z for the price.

  • Speckled Jim on 26/05/2018 - 11:42

    Is it a bit of a stretch to mention the Jag F-type here? Not really, they're both coupes for a start.

    At the bottom end, this 50K Q60 is outclassed with just 155kW/350Nm v 221kW/400Nm for the turbo 4-pot Jag.
    But the Infiniti's big advantage is it's 84K cheaper than the Jag. And you get back seats.

    It gets very interesting higher up, where the Q60 Red Sport looks even better.
    298/475 v 250/450 for the Jag V6S. Red Sport comes out 64K cheaper (86K v 150K, both drive away). Easily wins $/output bragging rights here.

    I haven't addressed weight, gear ratios or anything else. There's poor Infiniti residuals to consider too. But as a VFM comparison you have to admit it's interesting.

    Or not. I'm about to buy another cheap (~2K) car, so no skin in this game for me!

    Looks are very subjective. I hate the spindle grill on all Lexus except the LC500 coupe, again very subjective. If you want to stand out yes the Q60 would be a better choice as there is not many on the road so it should age slowly, then say a BMW, Audi, Lexus, Merc etc.

    Most people who purchase $50k-$60k plus cars are on a salary sacrifice. Drive it for 3-4 years and return the keys and get another one.
    Who would be stupid enough to pay cash for any car anyway, unless you drive it to the ground and not worry about resale value.

    When people say poor resale value, you haven't own a base $65k BMW with some must have options. After 4 years and 70k km on the clock its only worth $20k.

    BMW and Mercs comes with free oil leaks and rattly timing chains and electronics that fails just after the warranty runs out.

    • MrZ on 27/05/2018 - 10:17

      Yeah, right, show me where I can buy a 2014 BMW 3/4 series for 20 grand. The only BMWs you'll find for that price are either 1-Series, X1s, or 2-Series Active Tourers. The cheapest 3-Series under 4 years old I see are 316i's for $25-$26k. These are cars that cost $51k new, not $65k, though.

        Where do you think the dealers buy their used car/tradein? If they are selling for $25k They are buying it for $20k or less.

          Trading in a car is not selling it, and a dealer accepting a trade in when selling a new car is not them purchasing it.

          So unless you are a car salesman and have a car that someone wants and is willing to trade in the exact car you want, why even bother using a car dealer as an example of what 20k can get you?

        • MrZ on 27/05/2018 - 12:27

          If we're referring to a car's value as it's trade-in price, then you should have clearly stated that. Obviously, trade-in prices will be lower than a car's private sale value, which is what I tend to look at when talking resale.

        • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2018 - 22:09

          @whooah1979: I didn't say take a car loan. I said pay cash. Paying cash is cheaper than salary sacrifice. You pay less for the car because you don't have to sign a novated lease contract for a start, and then you don't have to pay interest on top of that. It's not even close. The only legitimate argument is the cost of opportunity, but most smart people would argue that if you can't afford to invest the value of the car as well as buying the car, then you can't afford the car anyway.

          @Burnertoasty:
          Yeap I do better. Who is stupid enough to blow $50k cash on a car!

          $50k buy an EFT that pays 7% fully frank = $3500.00 per year or do a carry trade to India, Indonesia, etc.

          Lease the car for 3 years with a balloon and get a new car every 3 years.

          Lease the car at $500.00 per month = $6000.00 per year.
          Your out of pocket is $6000-$3500 = $2500.00 per year or $210.00 per month rounded from ($208.33) or about $52.00 per week.

          Effectively the same cost of public transport to lease a car and I drive a new car every 3 years and I still keep $50k that generates money for me forever.

          My out of pocket expense after 3 years is $7500.00 and I still have $50k golden goose that lays $3500.00 eggs every year forever.

          On the other hand your $50k cash car now is worth jack after 5 years and you need to save up for a new car again.hahaha

          I'll be driving pass in my new car whilst you are broken down on the side of the road in your now old car.

        • [Deactivated] on 09/06/2018 - 16:30

          @R3XNebular: This is the standard line stupid people say, when they think they can get something for free. They somehow think they can avoid the cost of interest, but when you do all the maths, including a potential cash purchase price discount (up to 30%), there is no way that you end up on top borrowing money to buy a car, whichever way you spin it. Salary sacrificing in theory would work, except you have to use a packaging company nominated by your employer, who charge a set rate of interest and charge a set price for the car. The only way you can end up ahead is if the car appreciates (or even doesn’t depreciate as much as anticipated). Otherwise, no mater which way you spin it, you’re paying someone else interest. The above poster talked about opportunity costs by using money that would have been spent on a car to buy higher yield investments, and then made it out like it’s easy to get a 7% return on a relatively small amount of money (it’s not at all), but smart money says that if you can afford to buy the car in cash, and afford to also invest, then you can’t afford the car.

          It boils down to this. People don’t lend you money to be nice to you, they lend it to you to make money from you. The people who manage that money are likely a lot smarter and more financially attuned than you are, and if you could get a loan for 4% and a guaranteed low risk investment yield of 7%, like the above poster said, you’d never need to work again.
